Micropatterning of Monodisperse Spherical Particles by Electrophoretic Deposition Process Using Interdigitated Microarray Electrode

Article Preview

Abstract:

Micrometer wire consisting of microbeads was successfully fabricated onto a patterned conductive electrode substrate by an electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process with precise control of electric field distribution generated in the colloidal suspension. Monodisperse polystyrene microspheres with 320 nm in diameter and an interdigitated microarray Au electrode having 10 μm in width and 5 μm in spacing were used in this EPD system. A micropattern of polystyrene particles with two dimensional arrays was formed onto the patterned electrode by the EPD process with two electrode system using an electrostatic interaction between the electrodes and the charged particles in the suspension.
